so, first things first, any good fighter has a chance against another good fighter. if Gregor and Jaime had fought 10 times, im sure jaime would have won 3-4 of them.

Jaime mentions in the book that he feels theres only 3 people alive that could beat him, and im pretty sure they are Great Jon Umber, Barristan Selmy, and Gregor Clegane.

Oberyn wouldnt have come to mind for jaime when he made the comment since the south wasnt involved, and for all we know didnt exist in GRRMs mind when he wrote the jaime chapter.

fun fact, GRRM has said that in their primes, the best two fighters were Barristan Selmy and Arthur Dayne, and that itd be a coin flip each time, unless Arthur Dayne has Dawn, in which case Arthur Dayne would have won.

I think Gregor beats Jamie because of the sheer size. Oberyn was able to technically beat him because of the long spear. Sword vs sword I think gregor wins. I also think Ned would have beat him in that fight too.

Ned was not one of the sword fighting greats. He's very competent because he's a trained and experienced battlefield commander, but he's no where close to that elite level.

Well he's wrong
